Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 768 Confidence
Chapter 768: Chapter 768 Confidence
After the telephones were connected, the base in City S had become quite convenient. Although they were landline phones, they also allowed the survivors inside the base to experience long-lost modern technology.
Not only that, but one family also discovered that almost every survivor in the base now had a piece of battle clothing, and there was even a store specifically selling battle clothes.
It was said that the combat mechas designed by Lian Ze were also being improved, and they might very likely be deployed into combat in the future.
Su Jin couldn’t help but be amazed by the development speed of the City S base. Besides City S, the bases they had visited in City A, City D, and City F were also developing steadily.
In her previous life, the situation at this time was much worse. City A should have already become a dead city, and being neighbors, City S was also more or less affected by it, not to mention that back then, there was no Lian Ze in City S base.
So, had she inadvertently changed so many things since she was reborn?
Could this be the so-called butterfly effect?
Fresh from the shower, Lu Hao gently embraced her from behind, and the scent of male hormones instantly filled Su Jin’s surroundings.
“What are you thinking about? You seem so lost.”
Lu Hao asked.
“I think that it’s only the second year of the apocalypse, and the development here has been so rapid.”
Su Jin nestled against Lu Hao’s chest, marveling that in the second year of the apocalypse, she was also about to become a mother.
“It’s because this place is well-protected by everyone. The outside is still quite dangerous. It’s the second year now, and it looks like only about a tenth of the zombies have been eliminated,”
Lu Hao thought about the zombies they encountered today. According to Qiqi, zombies were everywhere.
“Right, the zombies are still those zombies; it’s just that we humans have become more secure,”
Su Jin thought that was true. Their Heart Talk Team could only change things by using the Wood Spirit Space to support the people around them; the number of zombies was still so many…
It seemed that humans and zombies would still have a long way to go together in the future.
“Don’t worry, everyone is very confident, and we have our two babies,”
After Lu Hao spoke, he distinctly felt a vibration under his hand resting on Su Jin’s abdomen.
“Are they moving?” Lu Hao asked.
Su Jin smiled and nodded, “Every time we all talk, they start moving around happily. They must be used to these voices by now.”
Lu Hao felt both amazed and delighted. Were these two children interacting with him?
Watching Lu Hao squat down and start talking to his stomach, Su Jin couldn’t help but laugh because her belly tickled.
Yes, she now also had confidence, confident to continue forward with everyone and to bring up the two children in her belly. But before that, she also needed to start preparing for her childbirth…
After the Heart Talk Team returned, Liang Jiuhui had been itching to catch up with them, but he hadn’t disturbed the family because he was worried about Su Jin as a pregnant woman, and the Heart Talk Team needed a few days to rest.
After learning that a rebellious Metal Element master had moved into the Security team’s quarters and that Lu Hao seemed to know about the master, Liang Jiuhui couldn’t help but make a phone call to the villa of the Heart Talk Team.
However, during the day, only Su Jin was in the villa.
“It’s not clear over the phone. I also plan to go to the branch store, and perhaps drop by the administrative building?”
Su Jin spoke to Liang Jiuhui over the phone.
Although Liang Jiuhui agreed, he insisted on having Sheng Jing come to pick up Su Jin from the villa, as he imagined she must be someone with limited mobility and in need of protection now.
However, upon seeing Su Jin, who still looked refreshed and lively except for her slightly pregnant belly, even Sheng Jing couldn’t help but marvel that she was probably the most delicate pregnant woman she had ever seen.
“You’ve worked hard, you’ve worked hard.”
Liang Jiuhui quickly stood up and said happily.
“Advanced in level?”
Su Jin raised an eyebrow and asked. She had definitely noticed some changes in Liang Jiuhui’s demeanor, a type of change that often resulted from leveling up.
“Smart, I often make time to go out and kill zombies. If I didn’t advance, I’d fall too far behind you two.”
Liang Jiuhui was now a Level Six Thunder Element, but still a level lower compared to Su Jin and Lu Hao.
Su Jin smiled. It was not common for a base leader like Liang Jiuhui, who, despite being often bogged down with responsibilities, still managed to make time to train his Special Ability.
“The thing about Kou Ning… In fact, I have never met the person myself, only heard of him.”
“Hmm, Captain Ye told me. Do you know what level of Metal Element he is now?”
Liang Jiuhui had also never met the person but had heard that he was not simple.
“I heard he is a Level Seven Metal Element, and most importantly… he comes from the Han Family.”
Su Jin said.
Level Seven!!
But from the Han Family again?
“A mole? Or is it trouble again?”
Liang Jiuhui couldn’t help but want to roll his eyes, wondering if such a formidable person might be another modified human from the Han Family.
“When we passed by F City, someone mentioned that he had always been controlled by the Han Family and that he had escaped on his own. His meat dependency is so high that he came here intending to buy meat from the Heart Talk Store,”
Su Jin half-truthfully explained. Indeed, she had never met Kou Ning, so Liang Jiuhui did not find anything questionable in her words.
“No wonder then. Lu Hao asked him to temporarily stay in the Security team, probably because he was afraid he might be a dangerous person.”
“Yes, he believes that Kou Ning is a talent worth using. Even if he turns out to be unusable, keeping him here might prevent the Han Family from exploiting him to do unpredictable things.”
Su Jin nodded; they knew Liang Jiuhui valued talents dearly. If the base focused its attention on giving him some space, there might be a successful chance of retaining Kou Ning, even if just for killing zombies.
“Level Seven, he’s either talented or a genius. Why does the Han Family always end up sending people to our base?”
Thinking of this, Liang Jiuhui suddenly felt a bit unfair to the Han Family. But as Su Jin said, these people came to the S City base on their own, not abducted by him. Since they were rare finds, he would need to discuss strategies with Ye Rongxin carefully next.
“You should also be careful. I heard he’s developed a habit of killing people, and the only reason he hasn’t caused fatalities here might be because of the meat from the Heart Talk Store.”
Su Jin felt a bit amused; it was her grandfather’s contribution after all.
“Meat, huh… that’s really something.”
Liang Jiuhui was somewhat curious about Kou Ning, but since Su Jin was here today, he also asked about their journey so far and the situation in Country Y.
Sheng Jing listened with some astonishment. Did the Heart Talk Team actually manage to eradicate all the zombie cockroaches in Country Y?
Before the Apocalypse, she had visited Country Y. The area wasn’t small, and there were many cities. To exterminate every last zombie cockroach hidden in every nook and cranny was truly unimaginable.
